“Bringing transparency to the EPA will continue to be at the top of our agenda with the new conservative majority,” says Sen. David Vitter. “EPA has allowed a number of employees to waste millions of taxpayer dollars in the last few years through lax internal controls and substandard management.”

Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) was shocked to discover this week that the Dept. of Homeland Security is actually bringing children of undocumented immigrants to the US to reunite them with their illegal alien parents. Vitter is now seeking answers from DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson.
